, and superstorm sandy may have impacted these numbers. >> that's right. well, those 439,000 claims were much higher than expected and not only the highest level since april of 2011, it also ends a 42-week streak of being below 400,000. superstorm sandy did leave thousands without jobs, but while new jersey and connecticut reported increases in the claims due to the storm, new york actually reported a drop because power outages prevented many claimants from filing. so that suggests we'll see a spike in new york's jobless claims next week. it's also worth noting that the storm was already factored into the estimate for 375,000 claims, so this was still a very disappointing number, and continuing claims were also up which points to a weak jobs market regardless of the storm. so this is the first survey to be completed after the presidential election, and no matter which way you look at it, jenna, it's bad. as for the markets, one of the reason we might not be seeing a huge dive is because the markets are so oversold right now. the tow was down 185 yesterday
